Predator‐specific mortality of sage‐grouse nests based on predator DNA on eggshells by Nolan A. Helmstetter, Courtney J. Conway, Shane Roberts, Jennifer R. Adams, Paul D. Makela, Lisette P. Waits

“…Identifying the explicit predator species responsible for nest predation events is, therefore, critical to understanding causal mechanisms linking land use to patterns of sage‐grouse nest success. Cattle grazing is often assumed to adversely affect sage‐grouse recruitment by reducing grass height (and hence cover), thereby facilitating nest detection by predators. …”
